Content sections allow developers to define the content to be loaded for the
different views of a gadget. As described in Chapter 1, most containers
include different views, such as a small or large view, and Content sections are where those views are
defined.
Content sections have several
attributes available to them, all of which are optional (Table 3-8).
Table 3-8. Content attributes
